Book Description
In 1986 the largest criminal smuggling enterprise of the 20th century was exposed after the arrest of one small town sheriff for Trafficking. This event led to the largest incarceration of Law Enforcement Officials in the history America and would expose a southern based secret society who's origins predate the Civil War. A story based on true events set in the Appalachia Mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky. An intertwined tale of Marijuana, Moonshine and Cocaine where the players are none other than those who are sworn to be protecting us from such threat, the Police. Be there when several East Tennessee Sheriff's make deals with Pablo Escobar to land planes in their county for the purpose of transporting cocaine through out the United States to various Cartels and Mafia's. Murder, corruption, fast cars and faster women make up this Hillbilly tale of Cops, Judges, Bikers and Farmers. The telling of history in a manner which makes it enjoyable, sometimes down-right funny, from the position of one man who was there. Drama, Action, Humor, Humility, and Heritage all rolled into one book. You can almost smell the Cornbread baking while you read.

Book Description
A personal, moving, and vibrant picture of one of the most beautiful and troubled places in the world, described through the experiences of one family, whose fortunes have changed dramatically with those of the region. If there is a paradise on earth, it is definitely here, here and only here," said the early seventeenth-century Mughal Emperor Jehangir when describing the Kashmir Valley. But for nearly twenty years this delicate mountain region has been torn by a brutal conflict that has pitched idealism against Islamist militancy and military crackdown. In the tradition of Ryszard Kapuscinski, this is an intimate story told by the author, journalist, and aid worker Justine Hardy. Having lived and worked in Kashmir for many years, she draws the reader beyond the headlines into the world of In the Valley of Mist. A family portrait, the book describes a unique and gentle culture that has been shattered by the impact of insurgency, repression, and Islamic extremism in a place once famous for the warmth between its Hindu and Muslim residents. "If you want people to know do not tell stories that will make them hold their breath like in a made-up film. Tell them the truth. It is strong enough," she was told when she asked permission of her Kashmiri friends to tell this story. Revealing and disturbing, In the Valley of Mist paints Kashmir as the template for the changing face of Islam.

Book Description
Meghalaya is an untamed paradise with an ultimate fusion of diverse culture, nature's beauty, humble tribes, fascinating folklore & unusual blissful aura. The hypnotic charm of Meghalaya enticed him into its trance. Unaware about the creepy & spine chilling occurrence the protagonist was running into, there was nothing much he could do. But it was just a start of the journey which was about to infuse unanticipated encounters. Changing the definition of travel, he made an unbreakable bond with the people, places and the stimulating folklores of the land. The toffee-nosed peacock, the waiting tortoise, the golden ladder, all became part of his tale. Amidst this, someone special crosses his path unexpectedly, and at the end, he is left befuddled with the game destiny plays. After the successful first book, ‘The Days by the Ganges – Rishikesh’, the authors bring forth their second alchemy with this travelogue. This book decodes the lyrics of Meghalaya, in a manner that the song of the journey is composed by the readers like their own.
